Sunday December 19th, 2010 -According to reports by the Public Relations arm of Iran’s Democratic Front Party, Abolfazl Tabarzadi, a relative of Heshmatallah Tabarzadi, the Head of the Democratic Front of Iran Party was arrested this morning, Sunday December 19th, 2010 at his father’s house in the city of Ahvaz.

Reports indicate that at 8:00am this morning, ten security officers raided the residence of Abolfazl Tabarzadi’s father and arrested Abolfazl Tabarzadi taking him to an undisclosed location. It is worth mentioning that Tabarzadi had indicated previously that security forces intend to arrest him in order to put a stop to his inquiry into the case file of Heshmatallah Tabarzadi, the incarcerated head of the Democratic Front of Iran Party.

Given that securtiy officers have informed Tabarzadeh’s family members that Abolfazl had connections to the Mojahedin Khalgh (MKO) it looks as though the government is seeking to build a heavy case against him.
